"Oystermen", a celebration of our coastal shell fishing heritage on scenic Cape Cod. New England fishermen haul the daily catch; rough seas hamper the harvest; a hurried boat captain holds to the oars. Nauset lighthouse beacons in the distance while gulls scream overhead for quick meal - perhaps a few seals appear interested in the incredibly delicious bivalves - the setting sun reveals an amber and violet skyline, reminding the fisherman its time to return home.
